action
The key character in the series is Oleg Evgenyevich Fomin (nicknamed "Foma"). In the 1990s, perceived as a criminal and immoderate time in Russia, Foma worked as a bodyguard for a newly rich Moscow businessman named Viktor Nikolayevich Mamayev (nicknamed "Mamaj"). At the same time, Foma also turned crooked things like protection racket for his boss and thus also moved in the area of organized crime . But in the meantime times have changed in Russia, so that Foma is dismissed by his boss Mamaj, with payment of a handsome severance payment, due to his "outdated methods" as a bodyguard. But Foma does not accept his dismissal and looks for methods to get back to work with Mamaj. Since Mamaj remains absolutely stubborn, Foma decides to find access to his ex-boss through his daughter Alexandra Mamajewa (nickname "Sascha"). Sascha is studying at one of the city's secondary schools after returning from a long stay abroad in Switzerland to graduate in Moscow. With the help of his “buddy from the old days”, Alexej (“Psych”), Foma gets a fake teacher diploma with top marks and is promptly employed at the school where Sascha is studying. When he started working as a gymnastics teacher at school, he compensated for his lack of pedagogical training and experience by “using” his “simple, mafia-like” methods from earlier times on the students. This makes him unpopular with the school management and his colleagues, but becomes a respected authority and a person of trust with the students. To make matters worse, Foma falls in love with his pretty, intelligent and well-off colleague, the literature teacher and class teacher at 11a, Tatjana Alexandrovna, who on the one hand finds Foma's character difficult to take on, but on the other hand finds him secretly attractive.
Much is also known about the life of the student Alexandra Mamajewa ("Sascha") in this series. Despite her rich father, who enables her to lead a luxurious life, she is rather unpopular among classmates and is often teased, which is mainly due to her being overweight. The 17-year-old Sascha is a pretty girl who is characterized by intelligence, a pronounced sense of justice and a high degree of independence. One of Sascha's major weaknesses, however, is her extreme stubbornness, which also leads to violent arguments with her father. So Sascha ran away from home and looked for refuge with Foma. She is in love with the womanizer of the class, Anton ("Borsyj"), who only plays with her emotions and in reality is constantly flirting with the long-legged blonde Aljona. In love with Sascha is the “nerdy” and outsider of the class, Valentin (“Usatsch”), a very intelligent and sensible, but also very shy boy who is brought up by his grandparents. Usatsch makes Sascha many hints, but Sascha does not notice them and only perceives Usatsch as a "good friend".
